The University of Baltimore is only the second institution in the nation to have both its undergraduate and graduate programs in criminal justice certified by the Academy of Criminal Justice Sciences (2009-2019).
In 2018, the ACJS Board voted to discontinue its academic program certification efforts, and replaced the certification process with the ACJS Program Endorsement. UBalt will undergo program review for ACJS Program Endorsement eligibility in 2026.

Enhance your graduate learning experience with these academic options:
You can complete the master's in criminal justice program as a dual J.D./M.S. in Criminal Justice , allowing you to earn both degrees with 15-18 fewer credits than would be required to earn the two degrees independently.
Our 12-credit graduate Trauma-Informed Certificate is designed to provide you with an understanding of trauma and the trauma-informed principles and practices that are key for today's criminal justice professionals.
In the 12-credit graduate Public Safety Leadership Certificate program, you'll gain an understanding of the relationship of leadership and organizations relevant to public safety, examine ethical and moral values, and professional responsibilities and decision making as they pertain to public safety, and diagnose real-world public-safety related issues and problems.
You'll have the opportunity to attend the Roper Victim Assistance Academy of Maryland training academy recognized by the U.S. Department of Justice, Office for Victims of Crime for its success in training criminal justice professionals and service providers to interact more effectively with victims of crime.
Student and Alumni Spotlights
Forensic Scientist, Laura Harris, M.S. '10
"After graduating from The University of Baltimore, I was hired by the Maryland State
Police, Crime Scene Section and worked there until June 2016 when I was hired by DC
Department of Forensic Sciences, Crime Scene Sciences Unit. As a Forensic Scientist
in the District of Columbia, I respond to a variety of crime scenes, district police
stations and hospitals in order to document scenes, evidence and victims for later
presentation in court. In addition to photographing and collecting evidence, I also
process scenes and vehicles for contact DNA and other suspected bodily fluids, latent
prints, perform alternate light source photography, provide basic blood spatter interpretation,
3D scans of scenes along with a wide variety of other services upon request. My graduate
degree from The University of Baltimore provided me with the knowledge of policing
and constitutional law that I use every day in order to aid the police in their investigations
while ensuring the rights of citizens are not being infringed upon. Additionally,
a solid understanding of criminological theory has helped me to understand the ‘why’
behind the crime trends taking place in the District of Columbia. Although I received
all of my forensic science training while on the job, the master’s program at UBalt
helped me to build a solid foundation of criminal justice knowledge that I built the
rest of my career on."
